Moving to the Golden Courtyard

"But actually… I quite like it this way."

"Hmm?"

"I feel like I'm becoming more and more like a person." Elysia couldn't help but snuggle further into Xu Qi's embrace.

Xu Qi chuckled.

"What silly things are you saying? You were always a person, weren't you?"

"Yeah, Xu Qi, you're right… the me now, has love, has hate, and even has emotions like envy.

Even at this moment, the guilt I feel towards Mei and my love for you are constantly clashing. But I still like you so much, so… I can only continue to be with you while harboring this sad guilt."

Xu Qi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"The way you say it, it's like we're having an affair."

Elysia raised her head, her pure eyes blinked, and she suddenly said with a mischievous smile, "Oh, Xu Qi… so you admit you want to two-time, huh?"

"You two, are both my wings."

"Is it really okay to use anime references at a time like this?"

Holding Elysia tightly in his arms, Xu Qi couldn't help but chuckle.

"But isn't the ending pretty good? A world where no one gets hurt, don't you think?"

"It just benefits you."

"How can you call that benefiting me…" Gently sniffing the fragrance of the girl's hair, Xu Qi lowered his head and kissed Elysia on the forehead.

"But you're right, Elysia, I'm doing something greedy."

"Good that you know, I'm fine with it, but… have you thought about how you're going to let Mei know about this?"

Xu Qi suddenly fell silent.

"If you can't do it, I'll do it."

Xu Qi was startled, and just as he was about to say something, he quickly closed his mouth after seeing the teasing look in Elysia's eyes, and instead stroked the other party's back in a flattering manner, speaking near Elysia's slightly pointed earlobe.

"What do you want to do?"

"Girls have their ways of doing things, I'll make sure she can accept all this, but… Xu Qi, if that's the case, we'll both owe Mei way too much."

Seeing Xu Qi's silence, Elysia couldn't help but wrap her arms around his neck, murmuring.

"It's my fault… I'm the one who seduced you into making these mistakes, because by the time I realized how much I liked you, it was already too late."

"Do you think that at this point, this kind of mistake can still be one-sided?"

"Actually, we can think about it another way."

Xu Qi raised an eyebrow, he subconsciously felt that Elysia was probably about to say something shocking.

"Just think of it… as a rehearsal."

"Rehearsal?"

"Yeah? It's your first time dating Mei too, right, there'll always be some things you don't do well, right? In that case…" Elysia raised her head, smiling brightly, "I'll specially allow you to use me as a rehearsal partner."

"Elysia."

"Hmm?"

"Do you know what happened to the last person who did that?"

"Only their head was left, being held on a boat."

"So you know…"

"But my Xu Qi." Elysia reached out and stroked Xu Qi's cheek, that love that only humans should have, yet you can feel it so clearly on Elysia.

"You won't be irresponsible, and you'll never choose to let go, am I right?"

"You really do understand me…"

But it must be said, Elysia was right.

He embraced Elysia, it was indeed an impulse, but after embracing her, Xu Qi couldn't let go. He wouldn't give up Mei, nor would he give up Elysia.

Even if Mei couldn't accept it and insisted on leaving, Xu Qi would try everything possible to win her back.

He was a greedy person, and even more so a selfish person.

"But don't rush, my little Qi."

"I always feel like the way you address me is getting more and more outrageous."

"Is it? Must be your imagination.~~ Anyway, these things have to be done slowly, you can't let Mei know now, a lot of times, a lot of things, have to be cultivated slowly."

Xu Qi frowned, he was a straightforward person, he felt that he shouldn't deceive Mei.

"This isn't deception, it's protection for her, you don't want Mei to not be able to accept all this and break up with you, right?"

Elysia's words broke through Xu Qi's defenses.

"Anyway, leave these things to me. When the time is right, then let Mei know all this."

"And what about you?"

"Me?"

Elysia's eyes darted, and she said slyly, "I'll condescend to be a mistress."

61. Chaos

"Why do I get the feeling you're enjoying this?"

"Do you? I don't think so. It's the first time I've done something I know is wrong, yet it's so irresistible, like..."

Xu Qi raised an eyebrow, and his large hand, which had been resting on Alysia's back, began to wander.

Slowly moving, he traced the silk pajamas, stroking her back, eventually stopping at Elysia's waist. During this time, Elysia, of course, noticed Xu Qi's wandering hand.

But... her face just became more flushed, and she didn't make any other movements.

"Like a normally well-behaved kid suddenly doing something wrong, but then finding out... it's actually pretty good, right?"

"Y-yes, I guess..."

The pink-haired fairy girl's eyes began to wander, she wanted to stop him, but she had no reason to.

After all, even Alysia herself had said that she could be... Xu Qi's test subject.

Xu Qi leaned forward a bit more, and Elysia's already ample breasts were now constantly pressing against and deforming his body.

Xu Qi could even... feel two protruding objects constantly teasing his heartstrings.

"I think I'm really corrupting you, Elysia."

"Is there a possibility?" Elysia suddenly regained her composure and looked at Xu Qi with a provocative gaze, "That purity and innocence is just what I show to others."

"Then what's the essence?"

"Maybe a bad woman, who knows?"

The large hand resting on her waist began to move down again. Xu Qi had long noticed her so-called curvaceous figure. Elysia's buttocks... were truly perfect.

"Maybe I've wanted to try it for a long time... I've experienced humanity's purity and beauty, so there's no reason not to experience humanity's depravity and malice."

Xu Qi was already used to Alysia's tone, as if she were talking from a non-human perspective.

He couldn't help but tease, "You? Malice? Show me some malice."

Elysia narrowed her eyes. She suddenly looked up, moved her body upwards, and bit Xu Qi's lips fiercely with a ferocious look.

This sudden attack even stunned Xu Qi.

For a moment, his hands stopped moving, and he just stood there dumbfounded, letting Elysia take the strange sensation called "kissing" from his lips.

But alas... she was still a newbie with no experience. Even if she showed a fierce attitude, she couldn't hide her pure essence at all.

See? The kiss, which had just started out fierce, became soft and weak as soon as they made contact.

This was probably Elysia's boldest move. She gently bit Xu Qi's lips, and then didn't know what to do next.

Her slightly dazed appearance made Xu Qi couldn't help but feel amused.

If you don't know how to kiss, then don't kiss?

Let me teach you...

This might really have an unusual meaning for Xu Qi. In his own home, in his original bed, he was with Elysia... with this girl who he had long had a crush on, but didn't dare to aspire to.

They were both a little carried away.

They didn't even realize that at some point, Elysia was already half undressed.

The girl couldn't help but make slight noises.

As if expressing her satisfaction.

However...

"Buzz! Buzz!"

On the bedside table, Xu Qi's phone suddenly rang, which instantly brought the two, who were originally lost in their passion, back to their senses.

They stared at each other blankly, and then quickly separated!

Xu Qi went to the bedside to answer the phone, while Elysia shyly put on her clothes.

To be honest... she was quite into it just now, so much so that she still hadn't recovered.

"Hello? Mei?"

Hearing the name Xu Qi mentioned, Elysia couldn't help but prick up her ears—it really was Mei... it felt like being caught by the main wife...

"Xu Qi... I miss you."

Hearing Mei's coquettish voice on the phone, Xu Qi's entire temperament seemed to soften a bit.

This girl was always so direct. After becoming lovers, she simply didn't know how to write the word "euphemism." But that was precisely what touched Xu Qi's heart the most.

"Yeah, I miss you too."

"You miss me but you don't call me?"

"Wasn't I afraid of disturbing you? When I participated in that competition, my phone was turned off the whole time."

"That's because you hadn't met me then."

That was indeed the case.

"What brings you to call me?"

"I missed you."

What to do? He felt like his heart was firmly grasped by Mei.

"What about you? Are you at the Golden Courtyard?"

Originally, Xu Qi wanted to say that his father had fractured his foot and he was at home taking care of him.

But then he thought that if he really said that, Mei would probably worry, so after thinking about it, he didn't tell her. Instead, he said, "Yeah, that's right. When you're done here, I'll come pick you up."

"Okay, okay! You have to come pick me up! Otherwise... I won't go back!"

The girl's youthful words made Xu Qi couldn't help but smile.

"Then I won't disturb you from resting. Go to bed early, bye-bye."

"Okay, bye."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Qi breathed a long sigh of relief. The desire that had been stirred up earlier could be said to have completely disappeared.

Elysia looked at Xu Qi's gradually clearing eyes and couldn't help but smile knowingly—as expected, Mei's weight in Xu Qi's heart was really high, so high...

Sitting on the bed, she wrapped her arms around Xu Qi from behind and said calmly, "That was Mei calling, right?"
